I consider that it would be good if the Gransnet Acronyms list were also to include DDiL, DSiL, DMiL anf DFiL and I hope that GNHQ will add these abbreviations to the list.

A LINK to the Gransnet Acronyms list

Is there anyone who agrees with this and is willing to post in this thread in the hope that GNHQ will add these abbreviations to the list?

Galaxy and EP I have tried multiple times to try to make clear that the powers that be are not interested.
EP I hope that you don’t mind me using this expression; but you are banging your head against a brick wall.
Just use GN as a platform, and stop trying to ‘improve’ it.
They don’t care!

Even I have forgotten what I had in mind- was it Flippin Husband? Farty Hound? Forever Hungry?
There are endless possibilities! IYSWM.

Ah, what we do not know is whether that idea has been taken up. That idea might have been just what was needed in some families and some people might have seen the post and thought it a good idea and applied it in practice

All pigs fuelled and ready for take-off too.

EP you haven’t been on Gransnet very long can I let you know that we have asked many times over the years for many changes to be made the most notable being
*An edit button
*Original posters posts to be coloured all through conversation not just original post
*The games threads to be on their own on a separate page
Etc etc
They have NEVER ever been acknowledged

WE DO NOT WANT OR NEED ANY MORE ACRONYMS OR ABBREVIATIONS

If you want to have a fight with Head quarters can you fight for one of the ones I mentioned above please and thanks

How often do people use the Acronyms list?

I used it once when I joined and haven't looked at it since.

nanna8 Tue 02-Nov-21 07:18:34

Agree MOnica. Same here and I can’t remember most of them.

Good morning Elderly Person . I wonder what time-filling
activities you have planned for today?
Just FGS (another abbreviation NOT on the list) could you please give all the “links” a rest?

The GransNet page shows where to access what they refer to as acronyms just 3 cm (on my tablet) above where you have felt it necessary to post a link.
Do you think we are stupid?

First thing in the morning it's hard to say exactly how I'll try to fill the day, but this morning I can spend some time and try to reply to you in rhyme, this morning I have fitted in taking some black bags to the bin, then I sought to avoid a schism by asking GNHQ for a forum on feminism, then I have followed the logon trail and had a look at my email, I get posts from several mailing lists, so I will check in case there is something I have missed, and then it possible some time I'll spend, to design a greetings card to send, then send to myself and when I receive the same, after quarantine put in an oak effect frame, a frame that arrived direct to me, delivered with my grocery. But this does not scan like a song - perhaps I've got the meter wrong!

I don't want to fight with anybody. I am a peaceful vegan.

I have made some polite requests in various threads, but they are not in any way 'fights'.

If my requests are unsuccessful, then there we go, move on.
